And geese...

I've seen this one before but just got it again and love the message/lesson... had to share!

The Geese are starting to Fly...

Are You?...



What Can You Learn From Geese?

There's power in a gaggle of geese that you just don't find in a lone goose

For example...

Fact...

As each goose flaps its wings, it creates lift for the bird following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if one goose flew alone

Lesson...

Those who share a common direction and sense of unity can get where they're going
quicker and easier because they're drawing strength from each other

Fact...

When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of
trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the
lifting power of the bird in front

Lesson...

Stay in formation with those who are headed where we want to go; be willing to accept their help and give help to others

Fact...

When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position

Lesson...

It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. People, like geese,
are interdependent on each other

Fact...

Geese look after each other. If one gets sick or wounded, two geese follow it down to protect and feed it until it either recovers or dies

Lesson...

Stand by each other in difficult times as well in good times

And when you hear those geese honking... they're offering encouragement to their leader, something everyone - not just leaders - needs!
